Lady Warrior's Warth on Divorce Day novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56

“It’s a girl named Zoya. She is Abbott Lucero’s descendent, Hubert said.

“Abbout?” Daphne paused. “But isn’t there anyone left in his family?”

Hubert said, his voice tinged with a sigh. “There still is. Zoya is the last member of her family.

“Speaking of which. Abbott’s family is truly tragic. His descendants have dwindled, and now Zoya is the only one left.

“She’s coming to the memorial hall tomorrow to place her parents‘ ashes there for three days before their burial, and then make memorial tablets for them.”

Daphne’s eyes flickered slightly. “Will you go to welcome her tomorrow?”

Hubert originally had little connection with Abbott’s family, and they had grown estranged from years of no contact.

However, he said, “No matter what, she is Abbott’s family. I have to go see her. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be right.”

“Then why don’t I go in your place?” Daphne offered.

“Are you serious?” Hubert was surprised. After all, Daphne was adored by Joe’s family.

Ordinarily, she rarely went to the memorial hall unless it was for major family events.

On top of that, Hubert believed that Daphne didn’t even know Zoya.

Daphne said, “Exactly, a few of my friends want to see our memorial hall, and I plan to take them there tomorrow. I can host Zoya on your behalf.

“Hubert, you play card games with your buddies every day, don’t you? This way, it won’t take up your time.”

Hearing this, Hubert chuckled, “Daphne, it’s so nice of you to help me. Alright then, you can host Zoya tomorrow.”

He was the descendant of Christopher Lucero, who ranked the third oldest among his siblings. His family was not very capable.

They lived on the dividends provided by the Lucero family each year. Hubert’s main job was to manage the memorial hall’s reception duties.

He had a strong addiction to card games. He couldn’t go without it for even a day.

Fortunately, his job required little of him, which perfectly satisfied his addiction.

Now that Daphne had offered, Hubert was naturally glad to hand over the reception duties to her.

Daphne smiled. “It’s my pleasure to help you.”

A cold glint, however, flashed in her eyes as she thought, ‘Zoya, I’ll prepare quite a show for you tomorrow.”

Inside the Richmond family’s villa.

Wren stood at the end of the third floor. To one side was the room he did not allow Zoya to enter.

A very large portrait hung on the wall. It was nearly twice his height.

The woman in the portrait was very beautiful, wearing a luxurious dress and a piece of heirloom of the Richmond family, which was an emerald bracelet. It was stunningly beautiful.

However, in the past, she violently smashed the bracelet onto the ground.

That day, she said, “I don’t care for the Richmond family’s possessions. Let me go. I want to leave the Richmond family.

“Everyone in the Richmond family is crazy!”

Later, the woman grew increasingly gaunt, like a wilting rose, gradually losing her vitality.

Before she died, the woman clutched Wren’s hand tightly, saying in a shrill voice, “You are his son, and you will also go crazy like him.

“Therefore, you must not fall in love. People like you simply don’t deserve to love people!”

“Mother…” Wren looked at the woman in the portrait. “I will not become a madman like Father. I will also fulfill your wish and not fall in love with anyone.”

After his mother’s death, Wren’s father became disoriented, violent, and bloodthirsty, truly resembling a madman.

In front of his mother’s grave, his father looked at him with bloodshot eyes and said, “You are our son. So you will inevitably be like us. If you love someone, you will do whatever it takes to have them.

“If you don’t love someone, no matter how much they beg or try to please you, you won’t be moved in the slightest.

“I really look forward to it!”

He stared at her. “What about you? Why could you love Nicolas, yet divorce him so readily?

“If you truly loved him, shouldn’t you have done everything to be with him?”

Zoya frowned. “Even if I deeply love someone, if that person doesn’t love me back, I would still choose to leave.

“What’s more, I no longer have any love for Nicolas. He’s not the person I want to love!”

“So, what kind of person do you want to love?” he asked, a rare hint of curiosity in his voice.

“The person I want to love is someone who can walk alongside me, and who will never leave my side, no matter what!” Zoya murmured.

A scene of her parents together flashed through her mind.

The marriage she truly desired should be like her parents‘. Even with occasional bickering, they always stayed with each other.

They could constantly move forward with a common belief.

Even when facing death, they would remain steadfast, never abandoning each other, living and dying as one!

“Will there really be such a person?” Wren pursed his lips.

“My parents are exactly like that. They stayed with each other till the end and never abandoned each other!” Zoya said.

Her eyes welled up at the thought of her parents, but the corners of her lips curved into a slight smile. “They truly love each other.”

Listening to her description of her parents, Wren realized they were truly the opposite of his parents.

He thought, ‘So, she must also be completely different from me!‘

That evening, after dinner, Zoya was tidying the room when she discovered a door on the right–hand wall.

She thought, ‘Is there a room connected to mine?‘

Zoya casually turned the doorknob and opened the door.

Immediately, she froze.

Wren was right before her eyes, changing clothes. He had already taken off his shirt and was about to unbuckle his belt to remove his pants.

Zoya was startled and instinctively wanted to turn away.
